PLA Vs Indian Army On LAC (** READ THE FIRST POST** )

EQUIPMENT: PLA Vs Indian Army On LAC

The Thread is main purpose is to update the knowledge about Indian Army and PLA`s equipment in mountain terrain along Line of actual Control, This analysis will help us to find real weakness and advantage within ourselves and PLA..

In this Thread we will strictly stick to Mil topics and strategy between PLA & IA..
the origin thread ,but was locked last night
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

interesting topic, But there are some unprecise information there:
so I would like to creat my version of PLA Army weapons list in the similar structure....

1. all weapons listed are active in PLA Army service right now(red fonts)
but I would like to put some those under development(green fonts)
some types for export only which were mistakenly recognized as PLA army active equipment (Blue fonts)


2. pictures mainly, but I would give out the Type Name. you may google with it if you are interested in the specs. sorry about that.

3. since it's surposed to be in mountain terrain, it seems we are Restricted...LOL..ok, I would keep the weight in mind...

------------------------
I would like to complete my unfinished Part A last night...and then, moving to the Light Armor Secetion as Mr.Kunal Biswas requested.

PART C
MAIN BATTLE TANK


I have full agreement with Kunal Biswas's state about the MBT in the origal thread #5. post

the 40-tone ZTZ-96 and ZTZ-96A tanks are most used in this Military Region. although the heavier and more advanced ZTZ-99 serials are the favourite of PLA army nowadays.

I like the pictures of the new kit, but let it be known that only a few experimental units in PLA actually have it.

QJY88 5.8 mm LMG inforced unit will have it

as requested by Kunal Biswas, I would like to put an extra pic to prove this unfamiliar LMG in service.


---------------------------------------
HMG

QJY88 5.8mmHMG company level status ...new model entering into service

AAA status


Type67-2 7.62mm HMG ...largely equipped,company level


QJZ89 12.7mm HMG battalion level


QJY 88 is not operational, The pic is old not even the uniform was updated, Other rifles are not included coz its not standered issue to the majority of PLA..

You have to post what Mountain Infantry carries aka light infantry foot soldiers..

HMG are not included coz it cannot be carried for assaults..

Part A... continued

Rocket Launcher..
PF89 80mm anti tank and disposable...in an inforced squad, every member can bring one.



DZJ08 Anti-bunker Rocket launcher


--------------------------
NONAUTOMATIC & AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER:

QLT89 GL 50MM interesting weapon for mountain battle.




DFR89 individual incendiary disposable...

DZJ08 80mm single shot rocket launcher, has garnered a good reputation among Chinese troops who have been able to use it. In development for eight years, it reached the troops in 2008. It has a 300 meter range, a 1.65 kg (3.63 pounds) warhead and the entire weapon weighs 7.5 kg (16.5 pounds). Compare to PF-89 of 200m range also, So DZJOB is considered better RL for such terrain, 50mm motar is good find and need more Info on DFR-89 range..

Other RL are over weight and only for static placements..



SNIPER RIFLE and OTHERS
Type 79/85 rifle. 7.62mm..SVD,we all know that...largly equipped.



QBS09 shotgun 18.4mm new model...for close combat in Jungles.might be useful in this area...


the end of part A

SVD are largely equipped in Chinese para military not PLA, Post a new pic with solider with SVD i will add..
Shot guns are issued to special units not regular mountain forces, It can be issued on special occasions other wise its not counted..

Anti-material rifle is operational ? if so the regular units have it ?, I have seen many but issued to airborne units, how much it weight.. ..

Air Defenc Vehicle single 35mm AA gun ,photo was taken during the trial.
Most of them are not operational but still experimental..
Only few variants like APC, and 122mm are in small numbers in ST, These pics tells more abt the current situation, I will add the 6x6 but will remove and place 8X8 in other thread as its still in small number and not operational in large scale..

Light Armour. PLA Infantry fighting And troop Support vehicles..

ZSL92 Wheeled IFV 25mm Gun & 7.62mm MG


ZSL92A Wheeled ICV 12.7mm MG ICV..machine gun only
I will add this APC, Its in large number and good mobility but eventually replaced by Snow Leos, Until i receive the use of Snow Leo in mass fire exercise i will put a hold on it..

sorry ,I was watching the TianGong-1 lunching on TV---------------------------------------------------


--------
ZBD04 -2ed Generation BMP-3 Style turret.100mm,30mm,7.62mm, Missile,around 20Tones.


ZBD04A Heavy Armour version Improve ZBD04, 10Tones heavier, coming soon



Type89 Family--The 2nd Generation of Tracked Infantry Vehicle
